Walcott, Bendtner, Vela, Szczesny, Koscielny Set To Start Against Newcastle (News)

Arsene Wenger has stated that Walcott, Bendtner, Vela, Szczesny, Koscielny are set for a start against Newcastle tomorrow for the Carling Cup match. 

There have been concerns over Vela being “frozen out” by Wenger, but the Arsenal manager quickly put the doubts to bed as he choose Vela to start tomorrow.  Walcott, Bendtner are also set to start after lengthy layoff after injuries on international duty.  Koscielny, if fit, will probably start.  He was out with back problem, but is likely to start to give one of the other centre backs a rest.  Szczesny is also set to start, after claiming he’s ready to step up and be number 1.  He is sure going to be watched closely tomorrow, as expectation are high for him.  Eastmond, Lansbury and JET are all set to play a role in the match.

Arsene said:

“It will be similar to Spurs,” said Wenger. “We have players coming back like Walcott, Bendtner and Vela. Koscielny is fit to start. They will play.

“From the Man City game, we have no-one out [with injury]. One or two will be rested. Vela is back.”

“In the squad, we will have Eastmond, Lansbury and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas,” said Wenger. “Wojciech will be in goal.”
